Question about MODStream Artist - Title

Hi Bernd,

I was trying to find where I can retieve the Artist Title from the MODStream URL that is currently connected.
In MODStream I can see the Artist - Title being updated and I want to use that data for further processing.

My template file looks like this:
{
"playing": {
"id": "${cpltrackguidcurrent}",
"title": "${cpltracktitlecurrent}",
"artist": "${cpltrackartistcurrent}",
"base64": "${cpltrackalbumartcurrent}",
"modstreamurl": "${modstreamurl}",
"modstreamstatus": "${modstreamstatus}",
"modstreamisplaying": "${modstreamisplaying}"
}
}

I tried searching in the docs and found these:
${modstreamstatus} : the MODStream player status (None,Paused,ConnectedWaiting,Playing)
${modstreamstatusid} : the MODStream player status (0,1,2,3,4)
${modstreamisrunning} : is the MODStream player running (1/True, 0/False)
${modstreamisplaying} : is the MODStream player playing (1/True, 0/False)
${modstreamurl} : the currently used MODStream Url

I was then expecting maybe a modstreamartist and modstreamtitle exist.

Perhaps i'm missing something or have something misconfigured.

Kind regards,
Roy

The regular ${artist} and ${title} should Sontheim job.

I would expect so, interestingly enough it does send it directly to the stream servers (shoutcast & azuracast) properly with ${artist} - ${title}.

Is there something I can test?

The ProppFrexx version I currently have installed is: 4.4.4.1

You must use the Streaming.OnSongTitleChanged event.
